I just realised that I have 1.4.2 here, not 1.4.3 as I thought. Anyway, 
I cannot directly access the style editor from the text editor. I do 
remember, however, that long time ago there used to be an option for 
this which was quite practical but cut in later versions due to 
instability reasons.

Is that what you mean? Or is there another reason that I do not have 
this option in 1.4.2?
